Let's go!

I guess no Fields tonight

Even VJJ is out, don't understand that one.  Give him more punts.  Literally nothing to lose...

Unless he is hurt, I wanted to see more Tyler Scott too.  Shoot all the rookies should be on the field including Wright IMO...

Well....backups aren't very good....and the backup QB situation ain't good....

 Bagent has to be the number 2 QB.

How do we get out of the other 2 contacts of Peterman & Walker ?

FWIW a few thoughts from last night's game:

1. What value does PJ Walker serve ? That he superficially represents Fields ? From what we hear he's not very good in practice, not good in scrimmages, not good in games. Why is he here ?
2. Johnson is a BEAST.
3. Colts scrubs better than Bears scrubs.
4. Every snap PJ Walker takes is a waste of time better used by someone else.
5. Seeing that 2006 SB banner hanging from the rafters almost made me throw up in my mouth
6. Not sure when Colts decided to not play starters, but it seems like it was long after Flus announced the starters would sit. Afraid of retaliation for cheap hits on Fields during the practices ?

On to Preseason week 3 !

On to Preseason week 3 !

1) No value.  Ball comes out way to slow.  Indecisive with open receivers and took sacks.  Doesn't look particularly mobile.  And he's short.  The only thing going for him is experience and $2M guarenteed contract.
2)  RJ looks good but so did Foreman.  Don't know how many touches he'll get - but he will get some.  Also plays special teams.
3)  Who cares?
4)  Agreed - let's see what happens in game 3.
5)  What happened in 2006?  Was there a Super bowl?  Fortunately I have disassociative amnesia.
6)  I think they said they got a lot out of the practices and held out the starters to avoid injury.  It will be interesting to see who plays game 3.  It may be more of the same.  I did not hear anything about cheap shots on Fields.
